This man in my compound fit talk you to death..therefore we named him 'means of communication'

Yesooo! Even in d office too

mama NwaGod

lolz..can really relate to dis, remembered I with some friends nicknamed some gals for my area with 'super eagles player' then. Starting from enyama to our striker then, makinwa. Even had skipo(JJ). The funniest thing be say some other friend wey dey close to us don't even know their real names except those nicknames. You will just hear something like'av u seen martins(obafemi martins) today?'. Seriously very funny time!

I stopped when one guy we used to call "burnt brezz" cornered me and delt with me Wella.

can I get a like for no reason?

They are all named, even now

We have:

Alapalegbe
Baba 30 years
Baba Agbalagba
Awon Partners
Olofofo
Mr. Bachelor
Olopa

Oh, Awon Partners call me Ashewo Boy based on my pre marital parade of SoCal hotnesses in my place

I see bad shidren all over this thread

kikiki

My mum's friend we call ocho nma.(she like makeup ) One day the woman came and I went to my mum's room to tell her that ochonma is here. The woman heard it and asked me who's ochonma and I no fit shout. Even my mum no fit explain that day. At last na beating I Chop

No!

For sure. Could remember growing up with my siblings. Oh my God! my sisters were good at it.
There was this woman who was very big...they named her Yokozuna.

A short guy in the next flat was named Danku

A beautiful woman in the next building (of blessed) memory was named Orente, because she was smart.

A guy who does a lot of "I too know"(ITK) was named Bebeto.

When I got married I personally named one of our neighbours Oluaye Deeper who is always looking serious

reminds me of Baba Ara. that man listens to the evergreen hits of baba ara every morning. He eventually got to know about the nickname via our other neighbors who mistakenly told him, he liked the name tho

okirewaju:
Of course

Me and my brothers did this a lot

We had one we called oldest bachelor


You don't want to imagine what happened when finally mumsie decoded who we were calling oldest bachelor

The lecture that followed from mumsie no be here

I guess those were days when mothers and fathers scold and advice children when they act untowardly! Today the average father and mother will just laugh and forget it.

Was pretty good at that when we were kids. Family friend youngest named kemi;I called her Kermit Frogee baby.still call her now that she is married. My friend Paul I called jambalajo,efeoghene I called efeogede(banana).

In my neighborhood me and my siblings we Nickname almost all our neighbors e.g
1. Baban Kagoro
2. Baban Mangoro (the man look like mango)
3. Dogo (a tall neighbor)
4. Daga diri sai diri (he goes to work from to mid night, 7 days a week, complete a year without break)
5. Baban Japanese (crisis in the house always)
6. Maman Inkata (she's always discussing people issues)
7. General
8. Yellow
9. longest
10. Oga welder

The attitude of giving people names is caused by attitude and action of some people I and friends fun of doing so

I have Odogwu(d arrogant Igbo man), Gbogbolowo(all trade), hot yam(always talking in a rush), Abobaku(d stubborn proud bricklayer), Back side(lousy busy bodied woman), MOG(d rogue pretending to be Pastor) but Ironically wev overhead them call me Baba OlowO (bcis I don't mix much with them much, always in my lane)

We didnt just give them names,we gave their houses names as well.

Never!!

We nicknamed one olosho old woman in my area that time"robonmi" meaning someone who swallows bullets. My Mummy never knew. And the woman she no no.

My cousins nicknamed their father 'Darken Rahl".Only them understand it when ever they decide to gossip.

HEAD OF STATES...HE HAS GOT A HUGE HEAD

We also called one house like that "ile esu" meaning house of Satan. It was a polygamous house. They fight a lot

Lol



We use to have one Baba Chijindu as our neighbour. This man like meeting like moimoi, any small thing na meeting.

Then I decided to nickname him 'Chief Tenant' Even wen we have older tenants n Landlord around, he will still want to chairman the meeting.

We also called one house like that "ile esu" meaning house of Satan. It was a polygamous house. They fight a lot. The day dey knew. The wahala no be here o.

.

Of course, we have mummy g.o and iya ibe

as kids we had this military man always screaming 'i go shoot you' whenever our noise got to disturb him outside. nickname: baba-i-go-shoot-you

Queenext:
Yes,there's one me and my sibling calls "shina Rambo"

The shina" is cos he's a chronic womaniser, I haven't seen who can beat him in womanising.. He moved in January, without exaggerating, I have counted over 50 ladies with him.

He sells cars,so he's always seen with different cars,maybe that's why the ladies fall

Anfani adugbo- important neigbour.
Oloju busu- bkos he has cat eyes.(the man can shine eyes for africa .
Iya ologi etc..back in those days..
